'I Will Never Sell This Putter!'

April 26, 1952

On April 26, 1952, Patty Berg of Minneapolis set a world record for women golfers today as she toured the Richmond County Club in 30, 34 - 64. Playing from regulation tees on the 6,339-yard course, in the $3,000 Richmond Open, Berg posted ten birdies and two bogeys. Par for the course is 35, 37 - 72. Berg claims the hammerhead putter she purchased just a day before took strokes off her game.
